Dunlin Black Leather Lafayette Weekender Bag [SOLD]

I'm selling my large black leather weekender from Dunlin. It's such a beautiful bag--made of incredible soft aniline dyed cowhide, amazing dark brass hardware, 3 outside pockets and two main top zip compartments, expandable size due to the way the straps let the upper section fold in... big enough to fit books and laptop and small enough for every day use. Retailed around $900 at Oak, Opening Ceremony, and La Garconne, other versions have gone on sale but the classic black version is nearly impossible to find. Same style as this one at La Garconne but not in sparkle goatskin.

In fantastic shape--these bags only look better with age, I've had it for about 3 months and taken good care of it, condition is 9/10. Comes with original dustbag. This is seriously the perfect everyday bag, has a very unisex quality to it, durable, and made of the best leather. I'm only selling it because I really need the money!

Came across your dunlin bag just now and wanted to ask if you wanted to do a swap. I have a preen bag that i am eager to sell but too lazy to put on ebay. It's a great bag i bought on standarddeviation.com.

manual for using

the rules are simple:1. this is not a blog about making a profit.it is NOT intended as a site for recycling fast fashion. it is a place where you can buy and sell (and share) clothing by independent designers as well as classic, high quality pieces of both contemporary and vintage make. 2. if you're selling, include pertinent information like measurements, imperfections or fit issues, and the best photographs you can manage. only list the designer or time period (e.g. 1940's) in the label section. don't forget to close the listing (include winner's name)listings must last a minimum of 1 week. 'first come first served' is no longer an option since the spirit of the blog is to give everyone a fair chance.3. if you want the item, leave your name and contact information in the comments. if you do not leave your email, you will not be included in the drawing. each listing will be active for 7-28 days. at the end of this period, a name will be randomly drawn by the seller. the buyer has 2 business days to pay or make an arrangement.4. if you are on the receiving end, it is always nice to offer something so other people can have the opportunity to have it.5. if you have not posted any items in the previous 2 months, i will contact you about giving up your spot as a blog author to someone on the waiting list.6. i have created an OPEN ID for previous blog authors who would like to continue to post occasionally. please EMAIL me for the username and password.
